“There are little girls and boys who come and ask me for a photo or come up and say very nice words to me,” Martínez says. “It’s the most gratifying thing I’ve ever felt, being able to realize that, perhaps I'm inspiring them a little.”

MEXICO CITY — Andrea Martínez didn’t quite realize what she was getting herself into when she tried out to kick extra points for a Mexican college football team.

Martínez, a law student at the National Autonomous University of México , had played soccer since she was 12 years old. She tried out to play professionally in the Liga Femenil MX, but didn’t make the cut. Martínez, 21, said before playing football she barely watched NFL games, but it helped that her brother was a fan of the sport.

Martínez has her own locker room, but she performs the rest of the activities with the men on the team.
